Ololo Farm was started with one goal in mind. To grow the most nutrient dense food possible whilst improving the ecology of the land on which we farm. This, to us, is Regenerative agriculture. A form of farming which works with natural systems to restore the ecologic health of our landscape. Our farm was established in 2018 and has been supplying our busy Safari Lodge and now customers in Nairobi. Our primary products are pasture raised chicken (meat and eggs), duck meat, run a small dairy herd, organic mushrooms and soon to come is honey.
